I'm finally making some virtual appearances, though you can catch me in person at New York Comic Con tomorrow, October 8! I will be there with colleagues Caitlin Burns, Steele Filipek, and Matthew Weise on a panel about Writing for Video Games. It'll be broadcast live on NYCC Livestream. Just go to Twitch and check out NYCC's Live Stage.

Secondly, I had a great time at the first installment of Game Writing Portfolio Workout on September 28. We didn't have time to practice quest writing and interactive dialog, but definitely can during the second class on October 20.

Tickets are available here through PlayCrafting NYC and of course, there's still the early bird price if you sign up early. The first workshop was sold out, so make plans to come soon! No virtual appearances for this one because PlayCrafting believes hands-on attention and interaction is what makes its classes so valuable.

Finally, on November 8, I will have the unique pleasure of attending the launch of Immersive Edge, a collaborative Hypergrid story written, built, and produced by 25 persons. My avatar will be there in the virtual world to do a short presentation about how technology affects storytelling. Check out the trailer below to learn more about Immersive Edge.
